Deep Fried Tofu Triangles Recipes

TERIYAKI TOFU TRIANGLES

Steps:

• 1. Combine all the ingredients for the marinade in a small bowl and stir together.
• 2. Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Blot well between clean tea towels or several layers of paper towels, then cut each slice through the thickness again to make 1/4-inch-thick slices. Blot briefly again.
• 3. Cut each slice into 2 squares, then each square on the diagonal into 2 triangles. Place in a shallow pan and drizzle with the marinade. Gently turn the tofu pieces over so that both sides are coated with marinade. Let stand for 10 minutes or so.
• 4. Heat a wide nonstick skillet. Transfer the tofu and marinade into the skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring gently and frequently, until the tofu is nicely browned on most sides.
• Scatter scallions over the tofu if desired, and serve at once.

TOFU TRIANGLES IN CREAMY NUT BUTTTER SAUCE WITH SCALLIONS

Steps:

• 1. Slice the tofu crosswise into scant 1/ 2-inch slabs, then cut each slab into 2 triangles. Blot with paper towels.
• 2. Heat a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet and add the oil. When hot, add the tofu and fry over medium-high heat until golden. Turn and cook on the second side.
• 3. Meanwhile, combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a small food processor and puree until smooth. Taste for salt and add a little extra, if needed.
• 4. When the tofu is done, pour in half the sauce and cook until bubbling and partially reduced.
• 5. Turn off the heat, scatter the scallions and sesame seeds over the top, and bring to the table.

CRISPY FRIED TOFU

Steps:

• Wrap tofu in a clean towel and place onto a plate. Set another plate on top, and place a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for about 20 minutes; drain and discard the accumulated liquid.
• Cut tofu into 1-inch by 2-inch chunks. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt onto one slide; flip over and sprinkle remaining 1/4 teaspoon on the other.
• Heat oil in a wok or large skillet. To test if the oil is ready, dip a chopstick or wooden spoon in it; if bubbles rise, it is ready. If the oil smokes, it is too hot.
• Gently place 5 to 8 pieces of tofu at a time in hot oil using metal tongs. Be very careful as oil may splatter; use a splatter guard if possible. Fry tofu until golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Drain tofu on a plate lined with several paper towels. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

DEEP-FRIED TOFU

Steps:

• Serve immediately and enjoy.

ABURA - AGE (DEEP FRIED TOFU)

Steps:

• Remove the excess moisture from the block of tofu by wrapping it in a clean towel and placing it between 2 cutting boards, let stand for an hour or two.
• Now cut the tofu block into triangle shapes, about two inches long.
• Pour the oil into the wok and heat, when you dip a chopstick into the heated oil and bubbles rise from it the oil is ready for use.
• If the oil smokes it is too hot.
• Using the wok's spatula, slide the tofu triangles one at a time into the hot oil.
• Fry on both sides until golden brown.
• Scoop the triangles out of the wok and allow them to drain on the wok's draining grill (or place on paper towels).
• Once the triangles are drained and cool, it's a good idea to give them a second deep frying.
• This deepens their golden color and makes them nice and crisp.
• Place once again on the grill to drain and cool.
• The final step requires that you place the fried tofu triangles in a colander and run very hot water over them. I put the colander in the sink and allow the hot water from the faucet to run over the tofu, while I simultaneously pour boiling water from a pot over the triangles. This hot water bath completely leeches all remnants of oil from the tofu, resulting in tofu that you would never imagine as having been deep fried.
• Pat dry the tofu and serve with rice or noodles and a little shoyu, or use the fried tofu in another recipe.

BATAGOR BANDUNG (INDONESIAN FRIED TOFU)

Steps:

• Slice each tofu square diagonally to make 8 triangles. Make a cut into the base of each tofu triangle and scoop out enough of tofu to create a pocket.
• Combine scooped-out tofu pieces, prawns, egg, ground chicken, green onion, cornstarch, sesame oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl for the filling. Carefully stuff filling back into the tofu triangles; the filling will bulge out.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add stuffed tofu triangles, cover, and steam for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the batter. Mix egg and flour in a bowl. Whisk in enough water to give batter a medium-thin consistency.
• Combine water, peanuts, red chile pepper, garlic, vinegar, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Stir until salt and sugar have dissolved and set sauce aside.
• Remove cooked tofu triangles from the steamer.
• Heat oil in a wok until hot. Dip triangles into the batter and slowly lower into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown and the batter is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with the peanut sauce.

DEEP FRIED TOFU TRIANGLES

Steps:

• Drain the tofu: Place several paper towels on a cutting board. Place the tofu on the cutting board, and then place a heavy object such as a plate or book on top. Drain the tofu for at least 15 minutes, changing the paper towels as required. (If possible, it's helpful to tilt the cutting board so that the water drains directly into the sink). Cut the tofu into triangles, or cubes if you prefer. Heat oil for deep-frying. Carefully add the tofu pieces into the wok. Fry, stirring occasionally, until the tofu triangles are golden on both sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Keep warm while frying the remaining tofu triangles. Serve with or Peking-Style Sauce, Soy-ginger dip, or sweet and sour sauce.

• Seperate the vegetables in three medium bowls.
• To one bowl, add the shredded chicken. To another bowl, add the black beans. To the last bowl, add the ground beef.
• Stir each bowl until everything is incorporated.
• Cut a tortilla in half with a pizza cutter or knife.
• Put a spoonful of one of the fillings in the center of the tortilla half and sprinkle with cheese.
• Fold each corner over the middle, forming a triangle.
• Flip the tortilla triangle over so the seam is down.
• Brush the edge of the tortilla with egg wash and press with a fork to seal.
• Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
• In a deep pan, heat two inches of oil to 350°F (180°C).
• Once the oil is hot, place 2-3 tortilla triangles in the pan and cook on each side for 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Drain the triangles on a rack
• Serve with cilantro, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
• Enjoy!
